Thanks squares. Some nice clues there as pp said. Esp like 4,5,11 and 20 (among the acts I knew), but couldn't get brain in gear, as usual! Great stuff.

Know the feeling pp. It was a big 'doh!' for not seeing it earlier when that one got answered
Didn't know the act, but also liked "Swanny and Shane" for "Spinners".
I expect Aspro had tech problems logging on again, squares.

Apologies guys, but as you correctly predicted hfink, I just couldn't log on again or on Friday either, but strangely, straight on this morning with no issues. I can't work it out, but it has been getting progressively worse so I'm going to go through everything on my PC today and clean it all up. Hopefully that will help. It is another reason I am not committing to running another quiz myself until I can rectify the situation.

Hi Aspro, sorry to hear you're still having technical issues (bl00dy computers, lol!). Hope you manage to get it sorted out for the long run.
Also hope Tim is okay, possibly he has been having similar issues getting onto the site. I think he was working on a Golden Oldies quiz, possibly for today, so hopefully things are okay his side.

Hi Tim! Glad everything is okay, as we didn't see you yesterday
I'm not aware of anyone else doing anything today (if I do another one myself, it probably won't be until next weekend), so I think you're fine to go ahead. Look forward to it Tim.
